Baby has a cold
Lord does he ever, so I've spent the whole night up with him and his snuffles. Right now I've even gone to the length of slathering his chest in baby vicks vapor rub and am planning a menthol bath later on. But lord is he miserable and not shy about sharing it!
Loren has to work inventory tonight so we're on our own little boy and I..I've gotten chicken and dumplings cooking in the crock pot ready a hour or so before Loren goes to work and then it's me and Hunter...and assorted roommates of course. But in general it's just me and the boy and I'm fairly nervous about the whole thing since he's you know miserable cranky and completely clingy and inconsolable. Yeah good times right there
Grandma sent me 50 dollars for mothers day and I have cunningly wormed my way into getting a bodice. So I will have a full outfit for Faire! Blouse skirt and bodice! yay!! I hear you all cheering with me. Really I do. Don't wreck my fantasy people
Now of course I have to get the other things I'll need for a full outfit, decent shoes a belt and other accessories but you know what? it's all nothing by now, the main hurdle has been breached
We've managed to get the house into some sort of order today, well a good portion of it I've got laundry working away merrily in the background, dishes are being done in the kitchen, the living half of the living room is picked up and vacuumed, the back half will be taken care of tomorrow, I'm hoping that Angeline and Miss Tensey will be so kind as to do their living room and their bathroom so that if Oblidarn -does- come down this weekend to go to Scarbie with us he doesn't think we totally live like heathens, not that the outside of the house won't help him
BUT that is being taken care of as well, hiring a lawn service, and the neighbor up the street paints houses for cheap and so this summer we'll get those two things taken care of and I'll get a tree service to clear down the trees, and then I'll have the insides painted and re carpeted and retailed and then..then my darlings I will sell this place and go get some land and a bigger house in the country and All shall be well. Really and honestly it will be well.
I am so -tired- of being out here and dealing with neighbors and crime and nastiness. I just want 5 to 10 acres of land, three bedrooms two baths a decent kitchen and living room closet space and good plumbing. I don't think that's a lot to ask. Of course it -is- a lot to ask I know but but you know what? if I got it? I'd truly be happy. I mean it. I'd be happy.
Hunter is doing fantabulous by standing up on his own. He's pulling himself up onto the couch and tearing out his daddy's leg hair flawlessly, it is his new mission in life apparently. I must get pictures of this so that everyone can see. It's unbearably cute if I say so myself, even though you can practically see Loren's face go purple with the effort not to scream in agony as his legs are deforested.
I need to go make dumplings in a moment and finish watching 'White Noise' but I've got some other things I want to expound on this later on so expect more friends list spamming. For now I will say that if my dead husband called me on my cell phone I would first answer it and then seem what the hell they wanted to say to me. I mean obviously this is a lot of trouble.
Life while it has some shitty points, is a pretty good thing People.
Now watch the ceiling cave in or something
*knocks on wood*
